Wym?

Morally, I’m neutral about the act of sending the photo. It’s crass but was sent to a GOP politician, so big shrug.

Ethically, I think it violates the general principle of “don’t be a dick”, but see it as a nothingburger in the grand scheme of things.

Semantically, I don’t think it’s sexual in any way, shape, or form, nor credibly assault. I don’t think the photo as shown in the article is remotely distressing to anyone imaginable except a deeply-repressed GOP closet case.
